A question we often get is whether CBD oil is safe. More and more people are experiencing the power of CBD, yet many, especially new users, still have doubts about CBD oil.
Why is this, is CBD oil safe, and what happens if you take too much CBD oil? In the following blog article, we will explore this in more detail and try to answer all your questions about the safety of CBD oil.
CBD oil and cannabis oil. What is the difference?
The first misunderstanding many people have is that cannabis oil is compared to CBD oil. The two look very similar and are often seen as siblings. Siblings with one big difference: THC.
THC, which stands for Tetrahydrocannabinol, is a substance that gives you a high feeling. This THC is abundant in cannabis oil. The THC is found in the cannabis plant, which is not comparable to the hemp plant from which CBD is made.
Cannabis oil is dangerous because of the THC substance. You need to be careful with the dose you take. Too much THC can cause a psychoactive effect. If you have too much THC in your system, you are not allowed to participate in traffic and you will not pass a drug test.
Because of the amount of THC, cannabis oil is illegal in the Netherlands and Belgium. To legally sell a product, it must not contain more than 0.05% THC. This also applies to CBD oil. The CBD oil from ProHemp is legally available and all contain less than 0.05% THC.
CBD, which stands for cannabidiol, comes from the hemp plant. These plants are specially cultivated to make CBD products. Besides CBD, there are many other substances in the plant, such as CBG, CBC, and CBN. These substances enhance each other's effects, allowing the CBD to work even better.
CBD contains a small amount of THC. However, this amount is undetectable and it is impossible to overdose.
The biggest difference between cannabis oil and CBD oil is the THC content. To avoid buying an ‘illegal’ product, it is important to always ask for a test report.
Can I overdose on CBD oil?
You can buy CBD oil in many places in the Netherlands. Do you want to buy CBD oil? Always check the supplier. CBD oil must not contain more than 0.05% THC. If you have purchased CBD oil and want to start using it, it is important to consider the build-up phase. In the build-up phase, you start with a low dose and gradually increase the dose every few days.
CBD oil is very difficult to make and therefore quite expensive. It would be a waste to take too much CBD oil. Too much CBD is automatically broken down by the body.
It is impossible to overdose on CBD, and taking too much CBD oil is not dangerous. Because CBD is so expensive, it is a shame to take too much. Therefore, it is safe to take CBD oil, and you cannot overdose on too much CBD.
Is CBD oil safe for children?
CBD oil is safe for children, adults, and elderly people. CBD oil is available in different percentages. For example, the 5% CBD oil is often used for mild complaints or for children. 30% CBD oil contains the most CBD and is suitable for more severe complaints.
Using CBD oil is safe for children. It is advisable to closely monitor your child's progress, dosage, and behavior. You can keep track of this in a notebook and thus find the right CBD dosage for your child.
Are you allowed to drive after taking CBD oil?
CBD oil contains little or no THC. In CBD, the THC is ‘not detectable.’ Even if you take too much CBD oil, you will not ingest a large amount of THC. Therefore, you can safely participate in traffic after taking CBD oil. CBD oil combined with driving is safe.
Is CBD oil safe?
To return to the question: is CBD oil safe? Yes, CBD oil is safe. CBD oil is used not only by adults but also by elderly people, children, and even animals.
CBD is becoming increasingly popular, and more people are experiencing the power of CBD. If you want to buy CBD safely, always check if there is a test report with the delivered goods and look at the reviews of the seller.
